Somerset produced a brilliant bowling display to restrict Auckland Aces to a modest 125 for seven in their first qualifying match of the Champions League twenty20 tournament here on Tuesday.

Electing to bat, Auckland could never recover from their disastrous start where they lost three wickets for 14 runs in 3.1 overs and failed to put enough runs on the board in their second qualifying do-or-die match here.

Lou Vincent top-scored with an unbeaten run-a-ball 47, laced with three fours and a six, but with wickets tumbling on the other hand, he was left to do very little.
